For severe D3 deficiency, see a general physician or endocrinologist. They will initiate high dose vitamin D weekly and maintenance therapy later.

Three years ago, I underwent a biopsy, and the report showed Lichen Planus Pigmentosus. Since then, dark patches on my skin have been increasing gradually. I would like guidance on what I should do now.

I have been experiencing headache, chest pain, and body aches throughout the day. I have undergone all cardiac tests, and they came out normal. However, my blood report shows the following results: ESR: 3 mm/hour Uric Acid: 7.4 mg/dL Vitamin D3: 16.4 ng/mL Could these findings be the cause of my symptoms?
